Chapter 117 The Ancient Mirror of the Prophet (4)

I'm going straight to the point here, Johnson didn't show dissatisfaction, but said: "I guess, you probably came here for the ancient mirror."

I said: "The eyes are like torches, I can't hide it from you."

Johnson smiled and said: "Don't put a high hat on me, it's nothing difficult to guess. My people were invited by the police not long ago. I also have my own way, so I have heard about it. It is said that one of the research institutes What happened to the professor surnamed Xu? If I guessed correctly, Brother Xu, it should be a relative or friend of that Professor Xu."

I have to say that apart from his appearance, this person really does not show any trace of a foreigner on his body. He knows too much about what happened in the country, and the news is also very fast. He is even more Chinese than us Chinese.

When the topic was out of the way, I stopped hiding it and said, "He is my elder brother, and something happened during the inspection of that ancient bronze mirror. This ancient mirror was originally from your hands. I think you must know more about it. We have no other purpose, but hope to find clues and save my eldest brother."

Johnson sat at the main seat, tapping the armrest of the old-fashioned mahogany chair with his fingers. The lobby was very quiet, with white mist floating in the hot tea, and a scent of tea permeated the cold air.

Suddenly, Johnson looked out of the lobby and said, "In this weather, it's going to snow soon." It snows earlier in the north than in the south. I don't know what he meant by saying this suddenly.

Johnson continued: "I can tell you what I know, but in my opinion, your elder brother is probably hopeless."

My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but say, "Why do you say that?"

Johnson said: "Because of time, time is too late."

Professor Shen and Xu Kaiyi are old friends, and they are also very concerned about Xu Kaiyi's affairs. Hearing this, he also frowned, and his expression suddenly became anxious, and said: "I hope you can speak clearly."

Johnson said: "I will tell you, but I hope the police can return that ancient mirror to me. I paid for it."

Professor Shen said: "At present, it involves a murder case, and it also involves the safety of important scientific researchers. I'm afraid I don't have the authority to return it to you."

Johnson said: "Don't be so hasty to say that there is no way. I think you will have other ideas after listening to it." Then, Johnson began to talk about the origin of the ancient bronze mirror.

His grandparents were the first group of people who came to China to shop for treasures in their early years.

At that time, there were domestic turmoil, China was bullied, and the country was wide open, with no resistance to outsiders.

The vast land and rich resources of China have countless treasures, so it also attracts many foreign scientific research personnel, treasure hunters and even tomb robbers.

Johnson's grandfather was an explorer and an expert in collecting antiques. At that time, he was a mediocre man. It was because of his daring to go to China to make a fortune and earn the first pot of gold in his life that he started to make a fortune.

Later, Johnson's father and himself have been struggling in the antique industry. Because they made their fortunes in China, China can be regarded as their second hometown.

In recent years, with the strengthening of China's national power, the value of Chinese antiques has been rising steadily. Among them, the more popular ones, except for calligraphy and painting, are the products of ancient Western culture.

Therefore, seven years ago, Johnson specially brought people to China to collect the cultural relics from the ancient Western Regions.

At that time, goods from the Western Regions were popular, and receiving goods was not as easy as before, but because of the huge benefits, many antique dealers still flocked to them.

At that delivery, Johnson stayed in China for half a year. When he was about to leave, he found out about a place called 'Teruo' through an exchange meeting in the industry.

It was a small town located at the junction of the Qaidam and Tarim basins.

That place was originally a deserted ancient city. Later, due to the new tourism industry in the west in recent years, the surrounding aborigines gathered there to sell local specialties and receive tourists. It became a spontaneous formation that was not marked on the map. Small bazaar.

Although the market is small, it already has a certain reputation in the antique circle.

With the prosperity of antiques in the Western Regions, many antique dealers, treasure diggers, and expeditions traveled around Tairuo, making the news there very well-informed, and there are also many good goods that have just been unearthed, and they will be circulated through Tairuo as soon as possible. .

Therefore, if you really want to receive a batch of good goods, if you have that patience and stay in Tairuo for a period of time, you will definitely gain something.

Of course, if you are strong enough and ambitious enough, you can even form your own treasure-digging team.

After all, the former Silk Road, the former 36 countries in the Western Regions, are now covered under yellow sand.The vast desert is desolate and uninhabited, and the treasures buried in it are all unowned treasures. As long as you are lucky enough to get it, you will get rich.

Therefore, there are some desperadoes, even if they do not have that condition, they are willing to fight to the death for a chance to get rich.They set up unprofessional expedition teams and treasure-digging teams, and entered the Tarim Basin, most of which never returned.

However, there are always a group of lucky ones who can escape from the tiger's mouth and jump into the dragon's gate from then on.

Tairuo has become a seemingly remote place, but in fact it is full of wealth.

Johnson has no shortage of money, materials, or people. He has not been to China for several years. When he knew that a place like Tairuo had been formed, he immediately decided to go to Tairuo to receive goods.

He acted resolutely, packed everything up, and left with his people.

The conditions in that place were harsh, the sky was full of yellow sand, and the people around were all disheveled, and the clothes they wore were covered with gravel everywhere, making them look very embarrassed and rough.

But don’t underestimate the people here, most of the hawkers who come here are from XJ, and most of the outsiders are from the antique industry. They look rough, but they all have family backgrounds.

Sometimes, successful people are not as glamorous as they appear on the surface, and life seems to be very easy, but the hard work behind it is not visible to everyone.

Tairuo's people are a group of ruthless characters who treat themselves ruthlessly. They have a lot of money, but they can endure hardships and dare to risk their lives. This is probably the so-called wealth and wealth.

Johnson stayed in Tairuo for more than a month, his white skin was polished black and rough by wind, sand and sunshine, and his hair was full of sand when he went out, but he gained a lot in that month.

Just when he was about to stop, the men who collected the information brought him an antique dealer.

That businessman is someone who has no ability but dares to risk his life.

And that strange ancient bronze mirror was received from that dealer.

At that time, besides the ancient mirror, there were actually some other goods received, but those goods had already been sold, but the ancient mirror was stolen by the 'Master Gu'.

Master Gu was a guide they were looking for, because it was the first time for Johnson to go to the XJ area, and he was not familiar with Tairuo, so they found Master Gu as a guide in the local area.

Who knew that this person would become greedy later on.
